Thread: 7.2 Earthquake felt in San Diego, long shaker

4:16 aftershock felt.

I didn't feel it here near LA but I read in the Times that others up here must have.

Darn, just felt another jolt.

We had a relative in Orange Co. that called because he felt it.

I felt that too, but I was on the phone and couldn't report it here.

Now we get to play the "WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT 72 HOURS" game.

Here is one website that gives us some details:

That first earthquake was just upgraded to a 7.2 by USGS

I'm closer to the epicenter than San Diego and we had quite a ride here, stuff fell out of cabinets and a picture off of the wall but no real damage.
Several after shocks have been felt as well.

Some water main breaks in San Diego. Broken windows at the Sports Arena. Terminal 2 at the San Diego Airport was evacuated for awhile. Phone lines jambed. Per TV 8 News.

Upgraded to 7.2
